From the top of the Tabé chairlift, ski down a broad ridge just to skier's left of the chairlift cables. When the ridge ends, drop right into the broad gully below and ski down to the Plan Joran restaurant. It holds nice powder on a pitch that isn't too steep, but gets rapidly skied out
Difficulty
Moderate
Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.
Low Exposure (E1)
Exposure is limited to that of the slope itself. Getting hurt is still likely if the slope is steep and/or the snow is hard.
Remoteness
Close to help in case of emergency.
